  3. MINDFUL AI
    Reflections on Artificial Intelligence
    Murat Durmus

    The field of AI is highly interdisciplinary & evolutionary. The more AI penetrates our life and environment, the more comprehensive the points we have to consider and adapt. Technological developments are far ahead of ethical & philosophical interpretations. This fact is disturbing.We need to close this gap as soon as possible.

  5. Assembly Arithmetic Algorithms-Linux
    32-bit Linux Edition
    Chastity White Rose

    Personally, I think that the Assembly system of conditional jumps makes a lot of sense. Other programming languages such as BASIC and C have "goto" statements that work like this. For example, `if(eax<ebx){goto less;}`. Modern programming languages tend to discourage the use of goto or not allow it at all. However, these languages still use jumps I have described in this section because it is required by the hardware. Both "if" and "while" statements are written by using the conditional jump statements most relevant to what you are trying to do. The only thing I have found difficult about jumps in assembly is remembering which acronym means which condition. However, since I created the chart in this chapter, now I can refer to it, and you can too! As long as I keep these six main types of conditions in my head and am working with unsigned numbers, I can write almost any assembly program from scratch.
